Experimental justification for sapropel and hemp shives use as thermal insulations in Latvia

open access: yesENVIRONMENT. TECHNOLOGY. RESOURCES. Proceedings of the International Scientific and Practical Conference, 2015
Fossil energy resources in Latvia are imported from other countries, but at the same time, our country is rich in renewable energy resources and other raw materials, which are used very little. In the study it is proposed to create a thermal insulation material from hemp shives grown in Latvia as a filler material and lake sediment - sapropel as a ...

Environmentally friendly poly(butylene succinate) composites with hemp shives

open access: yesPolimery
Effect of hemp shives (30–90 v/v %; size 0.5 and 0.8 mm) on the structure (SEM), mechanical properties (tensile properties, impact strength) and thermal properties (thermal conductivity, Vicat softening temperature) and water absorption of PBS composites was investigated.

Structural Optimization of Sustainable Lightweight Hemp Shive-Fiber Panels

open access: yesForests
This study investigates the structural optimization of lightweight three-layer panels made from industrial hemp shives (core) and hemp fibers (faces) as a sustainable alternative to wood-based materials in furniture manufacturing. Panels with target densities of 400–600 kg·m−3 and face-layer contents of 30%–50%were produced and tested to European ...

A material proposed for re-use of hemp shives as a waste from fiber production

open access: yes, 2019
This work proposes a material obtained from hemp shives mixed with another industrial waste, clay from pottery, in a self-produced starch-based matrix. The preliminary results, obtained through Charpy impact, Shore D hardness and flexural tests, suggest ...
